A veteran of the Greenwich Village basket house scene and an important voice in American folk music, Paxton has been performing for over 45 years. "Tom's songs have a way of sneaking up on you. You find yourself humming them, whistling them, and singing a verse to a friend. Like the songs of Woody Guthrie, they're becoming part of America." – Pete Seeger "Tom Paxton embodies the spirit of folk music in the most beautiful sense…He's the coolest." – Ani DiFranco "[His] songs are so powerful and lyrical, written from the heart and the conscience, and they reach their mark, our innermost being." – Judy Collins "Tom Paxton ranks up there with the Beatles [and] Bob Dylan…for the number of songs he's written that everyone seems to know." – Dirty Linen This is a production of Matt Large's Hello Darlin' Productions. |
